Looking for a “Big Brother” program

by bblunden . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

I’m not sure how the rest of you feel about “Big Brother” programs. As our network administrator, I don’t like them. I always feel like I am invading somebody’s privacy when I use one or if I am asked to report on somebody’s email activities.

In any event, I have been tasked to purchase and install software that will monitor use of our internet. I am running MS Proxy 2.0 on the same machine as our Exchange Server. So basically, the server is taking a beating (yes, this would be a good time to recommend an upgrade, but I just took a huge chunk of my buget with some switches I bought) Therefore, I only want to be able to monitor a few users a time and not the whole network.

Anybody have any software recommendation??

Thanks in advance,
Bill Blunden
